This stems from the introduction of peacekeeping forces in the East of Ukraine.
Partners of Ukraine could lift sanctions against Russia after the introduction in the Donbass UN peacekeepers with a full mandate.
This was stated by former NATO Secretary General, Advisor to the President of Ukraine Anders Fogh Rasmussen on 14th Annual meeting of the Yalta European strategy, reports the official website of the organization.
“If Russia accepts what I said – namely, the provision of the UN peacekeeping mission, a clear mandate, with full control of the Russian-Ukrainian border and cover all areas to protect the population in Russia can be given a” carrot “in the form of removal of certain sanctions,” he said.
Rasmussen suggested that Russia was forced to announce a proposal for peacekeepers because of the possibility of granting Ukraine lethal weapons. However the process of attracting peacekeepers, according to the former managing Secretary, will be long enough.
“Now you’ll have to deal with a very long process in the UN security Council. Leading up to the elections (the presidential elections 2018 in Russia – ed.), the Actual steps will not, by the time you need to put pressure on Russia. Must not cast any options, including the provision of lethal weapons to Ukraine “, – said the politician.
